Kookaburra sits in the ol' gum tree...Kookaburra sits in the ol' gum tree... - LiveJournal.comParty on all you happy hippies!- June 25, 2008 I'm at Rinconada Hills playing receptionist. Of my various jobs, this one is definitely my favorite, simply because it pays the most without overloading me on work. It's awesome.Right now a group is renting the Clubhouse for a 60's themed party. It's pretty rockin' out there in the ballroom. There's a 60's tribute band playing and they're good, so it makes a good background music. (As well as foreground - it's pretty loud) Some of the guests are dressed up, and there's alcohol. I wouldn't.http://k00kaburra.livejournal.com/328200.html Woe, woe Amazon- June 24, 2008 I'm having a bad string of luck on Amazon this month! One package may have gone missing (the buyer left me a negative feedback complaining they paid for expedited shipping but never got the item. DC says it was delivered on June 7th, so it's either at the wrong address or the person's lying, don't know which because they never contacted me!) and I missed an e-mail about a sale and as a result I never sent their book, and so I got a negative feedback about that. (Understandable, I'd probably..http://k00kaburra.livejournal.com/327941.html I'M NOT FRAZZLED EVERYTHING'S FINE.- June 23, 2008 It's finals week.Almost done with spring quarter.Almost able to breathe again.http://k00kaburra.livejournal.com/327784.html I now have two receptionist jobs, and they are awesome.- June 14, 2008 I started my second job yesterday. (As a testament to how hectic it's been, I haven't updated in forever. Oops!)THIS NEW JOB IS SO SLOW! It's awesome. I've finished reading a novel (Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler, very dramatic and intense) now I'm sitting around drinking tea and watching teenagers set up for a surprise birthday party.It's awesome. I can't believe I get paid so much just to show up at 8, unlock some tennis courts and then lounge around. I know it's only my first day, so.http://k00kaburra.livejournal.com/327579.html New job- June 10, 2008 So I've been working for the acupuncturist for a week or so and it's been going pretty well. The job's a little chaotic because I had virtually no training. I came in last Wednesday to my first shift, got the extreme basics shown to me by Mayra, the woman who works the morning shifts, and then I was tossed in to a five hour shift to figure it out by myself. Well, I did keep telling the doc I learned quickly. I may have to stop mentioning that during interviews.I'm almost-by-myself most of...http://k00kaburra.livejournal.com/327315.html What the french, toast- June 4, 2008 So far this week I've gotten two calls to set up interviews for jobs I applied for nearly a month ago. Dang. What took everyone so long I was feeling mighty unpopular, man!ps - start the new job today. Will let ya'll know how that goes.http://k00kaburra.livejournal.com/327021.html SATC: I hate that acronym.- June 1, 2008 Kero and Kitty wanted to go see the Sex and the City movie today, so we did.In a word: Meh.It felt like a really dragged out, overlong episode of the tv show. So I guess if you were a fan of the series this will be just right. Me I liked the series just fine, BUT I could never finish a whole episode in one sitting. The pacing always made each episode seem longer, so I'd pause the show (ah, the joy of watching DVDs) and return to it after a break. Movie theatres don't allow such breaks, and.http://k00kaburra.livejournal.com/326762.html |
